These kosher Southern recipes are your classic Southern recipes without pork and dairy products.
While dairy is completely kosher, it can’t be eaten with or shortly after meat/poultry dishes, so all of these recipes are dairy free for convenience.
Traditionally, Southern cuisine uses a lot of buttermilk, pork, and lard.
However, there has been a Jewish presence in the South as long as there has been anyone aside from American-Indians.
Therefore, there have been kosher and dairy free alternatives to classic Southern recipes for a long time.
So, I now share with you the flavors of kosher Southern heritage.
